Marci Fucsovics defeated the Frenchman Richard Gasquet in a close and exciting match in the second round of the Vienna ATP 500 tournament and reached the main draw.
Vienna, ATP 500, qualifying, final:
Márton Fucsovics-Richard Gasquet (France) 6:3, 6:7 (6–8) 6:3
The classic of the MOL Team met the veteran French player with excellent results, Richard Gasquet, in the second round of the Vienna qualifier. The two players recently met in Dubai, where Fucsovics also won, and in Vienna the Hungarian player proved to be better, after winning in three sets after 2 hours and 45 minutes of play in an exciting match, and thus advanced to the main draw of the prestigious tournament.
Marci’s draw is not the most fortunate (it will accompany him throughout this season), as his opponent will be Matteo Berrettini, who is ranked 42 in the ATP world ranking, whom he recently met at Wimbledon, and the Italian won then. If he were to advance, the No. 5 seed Tiafoe would likely be next.
